The officer involved was Gary Calico, the I-Team confirmed. Dufrechou said a warrant was issued for Calico's arrest, and he surrendered to authorities at the St. Tammany Parish Jail on Thursday evening.

HIMSELF TO POLICE TONIGHT... AND NOW HE'S ON EMERGENCY SUSPENSION FROM HIS JOB FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER VETERAN SERGEANT GARY CALICO IS ACCUSED OF LEADING CAUSEWAY POLICE ON A HIGH SPEED CHASE ACROSS THE BRIDGE. WDSU REPORTER CASEY FERRAND IS LIVE WITH WHAT OFFICIALS SAY HAPPENED AND HIS ATTORNEY'S RESPONSE. SGT. CALICO HAS BEEN WITH THE POLICE FORCE FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES. HE WAS REINSTATED AFTER THE FIRST CHASE BACK IN 2007 AND WAS NEVER CONVICTED. DESPITE THAT PREVIOUS INCIDENT HIS ATTORNEY SAYS HE STILL DESERVES HIS DAY IN COURT. THIS IS DASH CAM VIDEO FROM 2007. IT SHOWS SGT GARY CALICO LEADING CAUSEWAY POLICE ON A HIGH SPEED CHASE...HERE HE WAS CLOCKED GOING UP TO 112 MILES PER HOUR... HE WAS ARRESTED BUT NOT CONVICTED. BUT THIS ISN'T THE ONLY TIME...HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF WEDNESDAY NIGHT. 07:56 the allegations are Sgt. Calico was involved in a high speed pursuit on the causeway bridge it's the SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER... SGT CALICO... HAS BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAW. CARLTON DUFRECHOU WITH THE CAUSEWAY COMMISSION SAYS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE SARGEANT WAS DRIVING ERATICALLY IN EXCESS OF 80 MILES PER HOUR. NUMEROUS OFFICERS FROM THE CAUSEWAY AND STATE POLICE DEPARTMENTS TRIED TO PULL HIM OVER, BUT HE MANAGED TO GET AWAY. RAYMOND BURKART WITH THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE IS REPRESENTING CALICO AND SAYS OFFICIALS... LATER WENT TO CALICO'S HOME AND SEIZED HIS VEHICLE. 08:10:20 I'm kind of questioning what they have, what's the big evidence, why they had to take the car. Especially if they have dash cams why do you need CALICO HAS BEEN WITH THE NOPD SINCE 1991. HE WAS ARRESTED AFTER THE CHASE IN 2007. BACK THEN..OFFICERS SAID THE CHASE STARTED WHEN THEY NOTICED AN OPEN BEER BOTTLE IN CALICO'S PERSONAL CAR. HE WAS ARRESTED BUT EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO WORK AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT... 08:10:41 he was never convicted, he got his job back because they applied the wrong laws so we got to let this thing play out before we start making assumptions and the presumption he has is of innocence not guilt 15 NOW, HE'S SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY AND IN JAIL...HIS LAWYERS SAYS HE'S INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. CALICO TURNED HIMSELF IN TO THE ST. TAMMANY PARISH JAIL THIS EVENING..
